Hi All,
I am looking to go in on getting a small to medium size travel trailer to tow with my 2021 Silverado 1500 Duramax 3.0L, which can tow around 10000lbs (9800 to be exact), obviously would want to be less than this so there is additional capacity for gear and water, etc. Would be splitting the costs with my mom and it would be parked on her property. Primarily will be used for short weekend trips in Virginia, would also probably use it to sleep in when I visit my mom for 1-2 nights. There seems to be a decent range of prices on used trailers on the market. Looking for recommendations as far as things to look out for and brands to avoid in general in the used market. Price range is 10k-20k. Ideally would sleep 5 or 6, would have AC, a slide out and an an awning.
Another question would be as far as generators go, what wattage should I be looking for? From what I can tell the AC requires ~3000 Watts to start and 1500 for running, so I've been looking at the 4500-6000W range for a generator.
Thanks!
